Photos of their external realities are being printed and layered with painted expressions of their internal worlds, thereby giving expression to their fears and dreams in order to find both hope in the future and solace in the present. <a href="http://ronhaviv.com">Ron Haviv</a>: Award-winning photojournalist Ron Haviv has produced images of conflict and humanitarian crises that have made headlines around the world. Haviv is a co-founder of photo agency VII, that is dedicated to documenting conflict, both violent and non-violent, to produce an unflinching record of the injustices created and experienced by people caught up in the events they describe.

Both of these posts come from the same I.P. address, and quite possibly from the same poster. Probable shill. (But it is a neat idea and a good Kickstarter video)

An n’ Pale | Café Conversations with journalist & author Jonathan M. Katz

HaitiCulturalExchange — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:26:45 +0000

As a reporter for the Associated Press in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Jonathan M. Katz was the only full time American correspondent in the country when the devastating earthquake hit on January 12, 2010. He stayed in Haiti for another year to document how Haitians fared in the aftermath, and the progress of the huge international effort to rebuild. In his new book, The Big Truck That Went By: How the World Came to Save Haiti and Left Behind a Disaster, Katz reveals the pain and perseverance of Haiti’s courageous people, uncovers how the relief effort went astray, and how international aid can become smarter. The book exposes some disturbing and surprising evidence about why aid doesn’t always make it to the right place. Katz delves into the impact of emergency aid, the tent cities which have become an icon of Haiti’s struggle to rebuild, and why the overwhelming amount of international pledges still fell short in the face of such widespread need. Jonathan Katz is the 2010 recipient of the Medill Medal for Courage in Journalism and the 2012 winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award for this book. He wrote for the AP for seven years and routinely appears as an expert on Haiti for television and radio, with interviews on ABC News, BBC World Service, NBC Nightly News, NPR, CBC Television, and Democracy Now. Come join us for a discussion with Katz as he shares his experiences working in Haiti. The discussion will be moderated by Jocelyn McCalla, former Executive Director of the National Coalition for Haitian Rights, and of the New Jersey Immigration Policy Network, and Advisory Board Member of Human Rights Watch/Americas. The Big Truck That Went By will be on sale at this event for $26 + tax. DATE / TIME: Wednesday, April 24th, 2013/ 6-9pm. Discussion will begin at 7pm. Light refreshments will be served. LOCATION: FiveMyles Gallery, 558 St Johns Place Brooklyn, NY 11238 Google Map Take the 2, 3, 4, or 5 to Franklin Ave. ADMISSION: Free. $10 suggested donation.

El Regreso

Brooklyn Arts Exchange — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:46:30 +0000

El Regresso (the return) is the going back to the self, a reflection, a necessity. After working and investigating the individual journey within a large community of performers for so many years, Mariangela López is going back to her own body as an attempt to understand her own ideas from her own physicality and inner world. She is using the power of the group as a catalytic energy that will guide her through this voyage. In this process she is transposing the relationship of the group and herself; how can they be present in the solo performer? How can she become a vehicle and a mirror of their own dreams and ultimately find the ritual that allows total exposure to achieve body/mind emancipation? <a href="http://events.bax.org/professional/air-performances/el-regreso/" rel="nofollow">http://events.bax.org/professional/air-performances/el-regreso/</a>

FROM OBAMA TO OCCUPY: Works of Outrage from 2008 – 2012

Brooklyn Arts Exchange — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 16:20:14 +0000

FROM OBAMA TO OCCUPY: Works of Outrage from 2008 – 2012 curated by Jesse Phillips-Fein Friday & Saturday, January 18-19, 2013 @ 8:00pm hosted by Shanté Paradigm Tickets: $15 General | $8 Low-Income To purchase tickets, visit <a href="https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/918490" rel="nofollow">https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/918490</a> From Obama to Occupy: Works of Outrage from 2008-2012 is a sequel to the 2009 hit show, Requiem for W, Overture for O: Works of Conscience from 2000-2008. Even before we knew the outcome of the 2012 election, there was a vital need to reflect on how artists had responded to Obama and the political events of the past four years. Obama’s election highlighted racial discourse in various ways: contentious debates about a “post-racial society”, racist attacks by the Right, conflicting and ambivalent responses from the Left, and the differing emotions, expectations, achievements, and disappointments that his term has had for white people and people of color. From Obama to Occupy: Works of Outrage from 2008-2012 generates a space for art to be a powerful platform to engage deeply with the contradictions and questions that Obama’s presidency has raised.
